Calcitonin was discovered over 50 yr ago as a new hormone that rapidly lowers circulating
calcium levels. This effect is caused by the inhibition of calcium efflux from bone, as …

The 'calcitonin family'is a group of peptide hormones that share structural similarities with
calcitonin, and includes calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), amylin, adrenomedullin …

Calcitonin was discovered as a peptide hormone that was known to reduce the calcium
levels in the systemic circulation. This hypocalcemic effect is produced due to multiple …

Calcitonin was discovered as a hypocalcemic principal that was initially thought to originate
from the parathyroid gland. This view was corrected subsequently, and an origin from the …

The calcitonin‐calcitonin gene‐related peptide (CGRP) gene complex encodes a family of
novel peptides‐calcitonin, CGRP and katacalcin. Whereas calcitonin is a circulating …

Besides the calcitonin (CT) precursor, the calcitonin gene also encodes another peptide—
calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP). We have previously reported that CGRP lowers …

The calcitonin gene encodes a small family of peptides: calcitonin, calcitonin gene-related
peptide (CGRP) and katacalcin. Whereas calcitonin is concerned with skeletal maintenance …

It has been suggested that skeletal nerve fibers may play important roles in neuro-
osteogenic interactions. This view is partly based upon information obtained from …

Calcitonin, a potent hypocalcemic hormone produced by the C‐cells of the thyroid, was first
discovered by Harold Copp in 1962. The physiological significance of calcitonin has been …

The calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is a pepticle which normally circulates. It is
encoded by the calcitonin gene, whose precise function is unknown. Since it has recently …
